Die Bank van Namibië het op 2 September 2020 'n waarskuwing uitgereik teen die sakebedrywighede van Global Green Network. Die Bank het bevind dat die maatskappy 'n onwettige finansiële skema bedryf. Die skema maak staat op die werwing van nuwe lede om inkomste te genereer eerder as om tasbare produkte aan te bied, wat dit onvolhoubaar maak. Global Green Network het nou weer na vore gekom, met die naam Global Green Trading. Die Bank doen 'n beroep op die publiek om deelname onmiddellik te staak en waarsku die promotors om bedrywighede te staak. Naufiku Hamunime, die waarnemende direkteur van strategiese kommunikasie en internasionale betrekkinge by die Bank van Namibië, het meer.

Solar panel installers, architects, environmental scientists, recycling coordinators, wind turbine engineers, geologists, project managers, electric vehicle manufacturers – these are just a small subset of the countless jobs connected to the green revolution. But, for renewable energy to be a sustainable part of our lives, we need to ensure it offers both economic growth and climate security.  The International Labour Organisation estimates that the energy transition could create 25 million new jobs by 2030. To achieve that remarkable goal, we will need investment to ensure that jobs and workers are protected, and to rethink the way our business and employment models work.  What are the different opportunities available in the green economy? Are there any specific skills required to work in the energy transition? What pathways are available for underrepresented groups?  To answer all these questions and more, host Kamal Ahmed met three members of Iberdrola's ‘Global Green Team' for a conversation about the new employment pathways provided by the energy transition.

The twelfth edition of the Global Green Finance Index provides the world's most authoritative measure of the performance of financial centres in delivering green finance services. The report, assembled by combining the views of financial professionals from around the world, with quantitative data commissioned and curated from over 130 sources, uses advanced statistical techniques to map the global spread of green finance.

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. Building out and scaling up a global green hydrogen ecosystem collaboratively is at the heart of an American-Australian business partnership announced this week, amid 30-plus countries already having hydrogen strategies in place that focus on the deployment of green hydrogen to achieve net-zero climate-mitigation goals. Plug of the US, headed by Andy Marsh, and Fortescue Energy of Australia, headed by Mark Hutchinson, outlined to 3 000 virtual attendees their common mission of spreading green hydrogen across the world, while at the same time fighting climate change by slashing carbon emissions, cleaning up industry, electrifying vehicles, powering commercial and residential buildings, and generating a substantial number of sustainable jobs. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) "This is a big market opportunity. It's really a focus of Plug every day to make hydrogen an ubiquitous fuel, and that's why I get so excited when we partner with companies like Fortescue. We have a similar vision and know we have to make hydrogen easy," Marsh told the company's fifth annual symposium, which was covered by Mining Weekly. Great news for South Africa is that the 550 MW electrolyser that Plug will supply to Fortescue's Gibson Island Project in Brisbane is a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser. This is because PEM electrolysers are platinum-based and South Africa hosts the world's largest resource of platinum group metals. Fortescue's final investment decision on that project is expected to be taken by the end of December. Once operational, the plant will produce 385 000 t/y of green ammonia from the green hydrogen produced onsite through the hydrogen electrolysis facility. In addition, Plug and Fortescue have started the initial diligence process for Fortescue to take up to a 40% equity stake in Plug's Texas hydrogen plant and for Plug to take up to a 25% equity stake in Fortescue's proposed Phoenix hydrogen plant. Meanwhile, across North America and Europe, Plug has deployed more than 60 000 fuel cells and 180-plus fuelling stations and plans to build and operate a green hydrogen highway. Fuel cells, which go hand-in-glove with platinum-based green hydrogen electrolysers, contain platinum catalysts that convert the green hydrogen into clean electricity for mobile and stationary use. PEM electrolysers were first developed during the 1950s for the space programme and have transitioned to the mainstream as the case for green hydrogen has strengthened, driven by the need to find solutions to combat climate change. The improving business case for green hydrogen is based on growing renewable generation capacity, falling renewable electricity costs, and PEM's innovative advance. "Gibson Island's one of our first projects. Eventually we want to work on how do you replace the LNG market globally. That's like the Holy Grail in our view. "Just think about the last 12 months, how governments around the world have really accelerated this industry. We're very much at the starting gate of this industry, we've got a long way to go, but there's plenty to do for everybody," said Hutchinson. Bloomberg estimates that 20% of world energy will come from hydrogen by 2050. By 2030, Europe will be using 10-million tons of domestically produced hydrogen a year and will also be importing another 10-million tons of hydrogen. Europe has made it clear that 42% of this hydrogen must be green hydrogen. The US will be generating 10-million tons of its own hydrogen. "When we do a back-of-the-envelope calculation, just for our electrolyser business, just for Europe, just for the United States, it's a $40-billion opportunity between now and 2030, just for one small segment of our business. "So, yes, hydrogen's going to be big, and we've been building it out. We've been building infrastructure for the last 15 years, and what I've learnt over those 15 years is that when you're in ...

Bienvenidos una semana más a Ecogestiona. Este viernes vamos a hablarles de cómo alimentarnos generando el mínimo impacto posible en el medio ambiente. Este sábado se celebra el Día Mundial de la Alimentación y el sector de la agroindustria es el responsable del 25% de las emisiones de efecto invernadero. El Pacto Verde Europeo, y en concreto la estrategia de “La granja a la mesa”, tiene como objetivo que el 25 % de la superficie agraria útil europea sea para producción ecológica en 2030. España, líder europeo en producción orgánica, tiene ahora el 9,3 % de superficie bajo criterios ecológicos, por lo que supone un enorme reto para la Unión Europea. Queremos conocer hoy cómo empresas y agricultores se preparan y avanzan hacia una agricultura sostenible y quién está ayudando a financiarlo. Lo hablaremos con: Pablo Cuervo, director de El Cantero de Letur. Álvaro Barrera, presidente de Ecovalia, la asociación profesional española de la producción ecológica Beatriz Fajardo, directora Delegación Triodos Bank en Castilla La Mancha. También en Ecogestiona estamos siempre pendientes de todas las actividades que se organizan para seguir concienciando a la población sobre la importancia de llevar una vida sostenible. El festival de cine Another Way Film Festival lo lleva haciendo varios años, del 21 al 28 de octubre celebran ya la séptima edición. Hablaremos con la directora del festival, Marta García Larrau y con Isabel López Rivadulla, directora de Marketing de SIGNUS, que apoya la sesión de cortometrajes un año más. Antes de estas charlas entrevistamos a Ecovidrio que esta semana presentan resultados de su campaña veraniega Banderas Verdes. Más de 13.000 establecimientos hosteleros de 127 localidades de cinco Comunidades Autónomas han competido por ser los más recicladores de vidrio. La directora de Comunicación de Ecovidrio, Beatriz Egido, nos contará las 8 localidades ganadoras y qué han hecho para lograr ese reconocimiento. Además al final del programa tendremos una nueva entrega de Global Green, que nos trae Francesca Garrigues, consejera de IDEL, en esta ocasión nos hablará de un proyecto de inclusión social a través de la natación. Charlará con el nadador Matías Ola, presidente de Swim Argentina, primera ONG argentina para la inclusión social de jóvenes a través de la natación. Y tendremos a nuestros colaboradores habituales: Iniciamos el programa con La Revista Energías Renovables, nos contará la manifestación convocada para este sábado bajo el lema “Renovable sí pero no así”. Más de 160 asociaciones y plataformas ciudadanas, reunidas en ALIENTE, la Alianza Energía y Territorio, piden un modelo de transición distribuido y justo, que no se limite a reemplazar los combustibles fósiles por grandes instalaciones de renovables. Buscan democratizar su acceso y un uso cercano y renovable de la energía. Y finalizaremos el programa con Beatriz Fernández, que nos traerá la agenda de ocio ambiental para el fin de semana.

In this episode of Thermonuclear Takes, we tackle a couple of recent climate-related news stories - the "tipping point" carbon flux measurements from the Amazon rainforest, and the IEA's progress report on a global green recovery.

As a complement to the current print journal, "The Revolution Will Be Televised: A Decade of Global Protest," The Looking  Glass's second installment examines global environmental protests. Climate change has become an unavoidable political issue. More and more people have taken to the streets, fueled by the existential threat of an increasingly unlivable world. Most notably, the environmental protests have been led by the younger generation. However, despite the hopefulness that more participation can bring about change, there are still questions regarding  who leads the movement and if those most effected are being properly advocated for.  To answer these questions, we had the great pleasure of speaking about environmental movements with SAISer's Professor Nina Hall and MA students Sahar Priano and Charlie Lawrie as well as Kenyan climate justice activist Kevin Mtai.This episode was produced by Ester Fang and Emma Riley. 

China has paid a heavy price for its large-scale industrialisation. While it has driven China's economic growth, China's use of fossil fuels has resulted in unhealthy urban pollution. This has encouraged the Chinese government to re-assess its reliance on fossil fuels and focus on renewable energy technologies. How is China improving environmental conditions in big cities? What are the geopolitical reasons behind China's shift towards greener energy? Will China overtake the United States as the global leader in green technology? Can China's experience in developing and implementing green technology be applied to other developing countries? What are the opportunities for Australia? John Mathews, Professor of Strategy at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management, joins Bob Carr, Director of the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at the University of Technology Sydney to discuss China's role in the global green shift.

David Gottfried is considered the father of the green movement, having founded the Green Building Council in 1993 which then expanded to over 100 countries with the Global Green Building Council.  You may have seen the “LEED” plaque on the side of a building?  That's the green rating system that David helped develop. David is also married to an incredible leader in the wellness field, my friend and author of “The Hormone Cure,” Dr. Sara Gottfried.  While his wife looks inward toward healing the body, David has spent his amazing life looking outward-- trying to heal the planet. In this show, David and I get a chance to talk about his new book, “Explosion Green.”  It's really a twenty-year memoir about a character… who happens to be David… on his quest to green the planet.  We also touch on a topic that sounds like science fiction, but is truly an essential component of healing ourselves and the planet:  Rewiring the brain for survival in the 22nd century. Here are a few highlights of the show: How healing your body leads to healing the planet. What drives even the greenest environmentalist to want a bigger house and a faster car? Why our survival instincts are killing us. Simple ways we can start living intentionally. The “bottom line” of being green. SHOW NOTES: David Gottfried is the father of the green movement, having founded both the U.S. and Global Green building Councils.  This GBC movement has reduced global warming and our eco-footprint more than any other organization in the world. David has a different perspective on the way the world works.  The pendulum is swinging in both the health and the sustainability movements.  According to David, the direction of the health movement is essential to what he refers to as the ecological triple bottom line:  planet, economy, and society. His relationship with Sara helped him realize that the third leg of the stool was somewhat absent in his approach.  To understand the societal component, he had to focus on how the people inside the green buildings were living.  “If you are toxic, what good is a LEED Platinum, net-zero home?” Sara got David looking at food, stress, anger, meditation and neuroscience to manage his own health.  But it's all interrelated:  David feels that what the green movement can bring to the individual is hope. David believes that he is here as a change agent, that he was tagged for a higher purpose.  There's a saying in Judaism:  Tikkun Olam, to heal the world.  It's our purpose to put the divine light back into the leaky vessel. How can focusing on our own health change the world?  Health and wellness isn't necessarily about getting ripped abs, although it can start there.  Once you approach health from a place of divine intent (you find your “why”), you start to believe in real food, in permaculture and local food.  You eat grazed meat and organic produce.  You become empowered by your natural intelligence.  That intent followed by those practices obviously have an impact on the environment. Where are we going in terms of the brain and the environment?  Back in the 1950's, Buckminster Fuller declared that technology had arrived, and that the have-nots could finally have.  So, why don't we all have?  It has to do with the wiring of our brains. “We are still harming nature, other species and each other.  We've got to wake up.”  But perhaps we can't do that without updating our brain's operating system. David started wondering why he still jumped for his bat when he heard noises in his house at night, or why he got road rage when another driver cut him off in traffic.  Well, it has to do with the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain that says, “I'm a hunter.  I have to provide for my family and protect them.”  You can't come home after a hunt without food. As a result of this thought process, David came out with the E Revolution.  It's about taking the term human (to err is to be human) and adding an e:  humane.   He started wondering if eco-greens could work with health experts to look at rewiring our brains.  Can we change the wiring of our survival instincts that were necessary hundreds of thousands of years ago, but are actually killing us now?  What does that new operating system look like and how can we install it? How can we stack the deck when it comes to sustainability? The first step is to check your ego at the door.  We have to switch to a humane operating system which means being human to your own body and being humane to other people. Live with intentionality.  We all do things like buy homes, redecorate, paint, renovate, consumer energy, produce waste, use water, and use transportation.  There are small things to do that move toward positive change, such as: Buy paint without VOC's. Don't buy cheap furniture that smells like chemicals for months. Use carpeting that doesn't require toxic glues. Keep in mind, if something smells, it's probably bad for you. Take your shoes off at the front door.  Why? So you don't track in all of the environmental toxins. Tighten up your home's insulation:  Blow insulation in to attics, crawl spaces, and walls. Install good quality windows. Buy Energy Star appliances. Install low-flow faucets, shower heads, and toilets. Collect water in rain barrels for landscaping. Drive less and buy fuel efficient cars. Buy quality products. Obviously, true change requires a monumental shift in our behavior.  Is that shift a slow burn or one big push?  You can actually map the shift.  Paul Hawken wrote a book called “Blessed Unrest” that mapped the world's eco grass-roots initiatives.  He stopped counting when he reached one million.  But it's going to take a combination of things from ordinances for green building, to tax policy, to support for organic and local farmers. We have to shift into thinking, “If it's not green, it's not valuable.”  We need to change the mindset of the public into thinking that if something is unhealthy, it shouldn't make money.  If it depletes the soil, if it causes birth defects, if it sucks up our rapidly disappearing aquifers, if it makes us sick… it shouldn't be purchased. “Cheap” can be the most expensive thing you ever do.  One small example is in the cords I buy for my guitars and amps.  You can buy them for a couple of bucks on the internet.  But here's what happens:  They buzz and blow up in the middle of a show.  Then I have to replace them.  Then I get stressed out and ticked off, and I have to go and replace the cords.  After a few cycles of this, I could have just bought a $30 good quality cord to begin with.  Now I buy quality because it saves me money in the long run, it saves the stress, and it saves the environment because those many cheap cords aren't hitting the landfill.  The same goes for appliances, electronics, clothing, and the list goes on. Look at what you do with the dollars you're spending.  What is the eco-footprint of the things you're doing?  Plant seeds that will grow good in the world.  Learn lessons from your mistakes, because lessons are the juice of life. Check out David's new book, “Explosion Green!”  It will teach you an incredible amount about being green through story, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation. You can check out more on the Green Building Council at usgbc.org and worldgbc.org.
